4A Games and Deep Silver are bringing the iconic Metro series to
the next generation. METRO REDUX features fully re-mastered and
improved versions of both METRO 2033 and METRO: LAST LIGHT,
creating the most compelling Metro experience ever.

With re-worked next-gen visuals, smooth 60FPS gameplay on
console, as well as new and improved content and features, METRO
REDUX is much more than a simple HD upgrade.

For the REDUX edition, Metro 2033 has been completely
overhauled:

· The original game has been
rebuilt in the latest and greatest iteration of the 4A Engine,
bringing all the graphical and gameplay improvements from Last
Light to Metro 2033 Redux

Metro: Last Light Redux has also received a graphical face-lift
and gameplay improvements that carry across both titles, including
new melee animations, and the fan requested ‘Check
Watch’ and ‘Check Inventory’ features. It also
includes all previously released Season Pass add-on content –
a further 10 hours of single-player gameplay.

With METRO REDUX, players now have the choice to experience both
Metro games the way they want with the introduction of two unique
‘Play Styles.’

Those who favoured the more survival horror oriented gameplay of
Metro 2033 can play both campaigns in the ‘Survival’
Play Style, a fraught slow-burn fight for survival with limited
resources, deadlier enemy AI, and slower reload speeds. Those who
enjoyed the more action oriented gameplay of Metro: Last Light can
try the ‘Spartan’ Play Style, providing Artyom with a
powerful set of combat skills and more plentiful resources.

In addition, the legendary Ranger Mode returns to both games,
providing the most immersive and challenging experience as the HUD
is stripped away and hardcore rules apply.

Upon release, Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux will
each be available separately as a digital download for Xbox One,
the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft,
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PC a suggested
$24.99 / €19.99 / £15.99.

Alongside the digital release, a boxed compilation containing
both games, titled METRO REDUX will be available at retail for a
suggested $49.99 / €39.99 / £34.99.

Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light Redux and the compilation
Metro Redux are scheduled for release this Summer for Xbox One,
PlayStation, and Windows PC.

Dedicated Linux and SteamOS versions will also release later
this year.

Metro Redux is based on the internationally best-selling novel
METRO 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky.

In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event,
annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth’s
surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took
refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human
civilization entered a new Dark Age.

The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised
underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for
survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await
outside.

You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but
raised underground. Having never ventured beyond the city limits,
one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the
Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible
impending threat.

But will they even listen? Rather than stand united, the
factions of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate
power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil
war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth
forever.

Including the epic single-player campaigns of both Metro 2033
and Metro: Last Light, Metro Redux takes you on a journey from the
forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands
above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.
